Answer 1

The pre-image of square RSTU is translated to form R'S'T'U', and we can find the coordinates of point S in the pre-image.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pre-image of square RSTU is translated to form R'S'T'U', where point S is translated to S'(-4, 1). Since point S' has coordinates (3, -5), we can determine the coordinates of point S in the pre-image.

By finding the difference between the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of S and S', we can determine how the pre-image was translated.

The x-coordinate of S in the pre-image can be found by adding the x-coordinate of S' (3) to the difference in x-coordinates between S and S' (3 - (-4) = 7), resulting in an x-coordinate of -4 + 7 = 3.
